You and me under the world tree

No one can guarantee whether Dieter Heier has enough talent in this area.

Is his mind the same as that of his father, Dittmar?

Will he have enough strength to break free from the heavy shackles on himself in the future?

That sort of thing is really harsh for a kid.

And more importantly, assuming he didn't have this idea, or even had a very weak view on family ties, then the next thing that would meet them would be a brutal blood relationship.

Dietrich was not so cruel yet.

She would not let a child go down such a cruel path like this.

As a sister and an elder, she naturally wanted to give him shelter.

In fact, she was full of such thoughts before.

When shuttling through the secret passage, Dietrich had already considered everything, and even reached a final conclusion.

So at this time, she didn't have any hesitation.

However, what she didn't expect was that her mother actually stopped her at this time.

And Ottilia's almost subconscious action poured directly on Dietrich's head like a basin of cold water.

This made her recover from that anxiety in an instant.

However, because she really couldn't understand what her mother's queen was doing at this time, she couldn't help showing a trace of bewilderment on her face.

At the same time, a smile appeared on the face of Her Highness the Queen.

Although this kind of smile is a bit forced, it seems to want to cover up and protect something.

"Dieter Heier is very sensitive, and he cried a lot because of some things."

In this regard, Ottilia does not quite tell the story.

Even her words can be said to be vague.

"You haven't raised a child before, so you don't know about it. He is very sensitive now, and will cry at the slightest sign of trouble."

Immediately afterwards, she stretched out her hand and hugged the child who was clearly asleep.

Maybe it's because it's already in the mother's arms, the baby's expression stretched out all of a sudden.

Even, perhaps because of a good dream, the child laughed.

"Let me hold it." She said.

Perhaps, for Otilia, the most important thing she wants to say is only this sentence.

However, such words could not dispel the suspicion in Dietrich's heart.

After all, she had already reacted.

Maybe she didn't want to do that, but her brain turned almost instinctively.

After all, only she and her father could understand some things.

Even the queen Ottilia didn't know these things, and she had never been in touch with Dittmar's deep secrets.

And this secret is even related to blood...

"Mother..."

Staring at Otilia, Dietrich asked slowly.

At this moment, her scarlet eyes subconsciously took on an attitude of scrutiny.

This is a habit she developed on the battlefield.

And this kind of gaze is not gentle at all, but there is even a vague intention to fully exert that oppressive force.

So at this moment, Otilia's complexion couldn't help but turn pale.

But even so, she still tried her best to suppress the inexplicable panic that emerged from the bottom of her heart.

"What's wrong?" she asked

"Dieterheier, my younger brother, is he really the child of the king?"

"!"

Otilia never thought that Dietrich would ask such a question at this time, so at this moment, the panic in her heart suddenly swept away.

Even, the extremely forced smile on her face could no longer be maintained.

"Why do you ask such a question?"

However, the queen's hasty performance has already betrayed her heart.

At least that's how it seemed to Dietrich.

She didn't want to admit it, but the bloody fact was placed in front of her.

After all, she can confirm that Dieter Heil, the child born by her mother, has nothing to do with her father.

Because she knew that her father's blood was extremely special.

Because he signed a contract with a demon called Mehmet, the power of that 'demon' lingered in his body and even affected his bloodline.

That's why his hair turned white and his pupils turned red.

And this bloodline is destined to be with his descendants for a lifetime, no more than a few reasons.

Maybe Dieterhail is different from Dietrich, as a baby, the power of blood in him has not been awakened, not even enough to be awakened.

However, Dietrich didn't have any sense at all.

In theory it is true.

If Dieter Heier's body was filled with the same blood as hers, no matter what, she would feel an intimacy that was hard to describe in words.

But now, none of that.

And with this as the starting point, Dietrich quickly thought of the things that were full of disobedience that she had experienced before.

"Mother, do you know?" Dietrich said

At this moment, perhaps because of some confusion in her brain, she couldn't help lowering her head.

"There are not only guards looking for them outside, but even maids from the inner palace to guide them. They seem to have considerable control over the secret passages in the palace... At first, I thought it was the father who The control of the palace has weakened, and even the shield maids and maids who eat the same bowl as us have been infiltrated."

Finally, Dietrich looked up.

She stared at her mother.

But at this moment, she found that Otilia seemed to be slowly retreating.

While she was bowing her head, the queen was gradually moving away from her with her child in her arms.

But this kind of action confirmed the guess that she was least willing to believe in her heart.

betrayed……

It wasn't that the shield maidens and maids betrayed, but their mistress betrayed.

This is really a ridiculous thing.

The queen colluded with outsiders to launch a coup...

"Why do that."

Facing Dietrich's eyes, Otilia suddenly felt flustered.

She didn't know what to say, and she didn't dare to look at her daughter.

Finally, she took a deep breath.

"Escort." She whispered

The next moment, a large number of maids holding weapons emerged from the secret passage inside the bedroom.

They are all about sixteen or seventeen years old, and they are all young girls in their prime.

At the same time, with the sound of heavy footsteps, the door was knocked open again, and the betrayed imperial guards finally arrived here.

"His Royal Highness!"

In an instant, the queen was protected.

At the same time, Dietrich, the eldest princess, was surrounded in the middle.

Chapter 48: Molten Iron

Regarding this situation, Dietrich had already guessed it.

Under the leadership of the shield girl, although the speed of these imperial guards passing through the secret passage was not as fast as that of the princess, the speed was definitely not slow.

It was also for this reason that she was particularly concerned about time before.

But, at this point, time suddenly doesn't matter.

Because at this moment, Dietrich suddenly felt that her brain was extremely chaotic.

She didn't pay attention to the Guardsmen and Shield Maidens who surrounded her with weapons. She just passed these people and stared at the queen who was holding the child.

Ottilia...

As the Queen of Goth, she is naturally beautiful and charming.

The years have never left any traces on her body, and even at a glance, no one would believe that Her Royal Highness the Queen is the mother of the Princess.

If you don't talk about their identities, they look like sisters in appearance.

But at this time, Her Royal Highness did not dare to look at her daughter.

Under Dietrich's questioning, she even averted her gaze with guilt.

And it was such an attitude that inevitably made Dietrich clenched her fists.

"Why..." she asked, "Why did you do this?"

However, Ottilia did not answer any of her daughter's questions.

At this moment, she even felt a little tired.

For some reason, she just hugged Dieter Heier even tighter.

In her arms, the so-called prince Dieter Heil was still sleeping soundly.

And because her stroking and hugging movements were so conspicuous, Dietrich couldn't help but set her eyes on the baby.

"Because of this child? You want him to be king?"

Facing Dietrich's inquiry, Otilia still didn't answer immediately.

But after being silent for a while, she may feel that it is not a good thing to keep silent, so in the end, she spoke:

"This child is the true king chosen by the gods."

However, even though Otilia said so, Dietrich still couldn't believe it.

"Just for this reason? You colluded with outsiders and planned this kind of thing?"

When she said this, Dietrich couldn't help clenching her fists.

At this moment, she really has a lot to say.

"Although the Gothic Kingdom seems to be powerful, it cannot withstand any turmoil at all!"

"What qualifications do impostors who act in the name of the gods have to say such things!"

Just when Dietrich was incoherent, someone in the crowd suddenly questioned her.

"Without you, the Gothic Kingdom would be more prosperous!"

But when she heard this, Dietrich couldn't help being stunned.

For a moment, she was so angry that she wanted to laugh.

Because the Gothic Kingdom can maintain stability now, which has always relied on her father.

It was King Dietmar who swept away the self-respecting lords and unified the Goths as a king, so that he could gather all the troops to resist foreign enemies.

But now, it was she who led the army to go out and plunder, which made Denmark and Burgundy dispel the idea of ​​coveting the Gothic kingdom.
